"It's a special transformation, and I don't know if I should describe it as 'great'. Our special guest...... I thought it would be an ordinary negotiation, but he gave us new hope. ”

Five days later, the final version of the covenant was finalized. The Golden Dragon Grand Elder distributed it and circulated it to all the clansmen. At the same time, in the most solemn form of the Golden Dragon clan, a speech was made.

All the dragons stayed quietly in their own dragon lair, and the Golden Dragon Grand Elder stood at the very top of the waterfall and spread his huge wings.

Gray, on the other hand, stood on the edge of the pool with the members of the mission.

Clear water flowed past their feet.

"In the beginning, we were thinking about how to survive the coming catastrophe and avoid being victimized. Just as we've done for tens of thousands of years. But were we like that in the first place?"

"Not really. ”

"Through ancient books, we can clearly know that the Golden Dragon was once one of the most powerful races on the Celtic continent, and our figure used to be everywhere in the continent. However, the gods and demons have arrived, and they have brought power beyond the plane. We are so vulnerable in front of them that in order to survive, we even need to be grieved. ”

"Tens of thousands of years are incomparably long. It's long enough to forget the memories that are deeply ingrained in our bones. In the end, we forgot that we belonged to the blue sky, forgot that we belonged to the fertile mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and forgot the pride of being a golden dragon. Only a hard shell remains. In this small space, he maintains his remaining conceit. ”

"For many of us, from the time they were born, their entire world was nothing more than the Valley of the Dragon. ”

"We even thought at one point that this was what we wanted, and there was nothing more sad than that. ”

"Just then, this guest of ours, the young Lich King, arrived. He was much, much younger than most of our dragons. However, he has embarked on a journey that we once dreamed of, even to places we never were. He invited us to join us and he told us that the world is big and not just the Valley of the Dragon. He told us that the golden dragon should regain its old glory. ”

"The young Lich King, with his own experience, tells us that there are miracles in this world. The miracle is around us, it just depends on whether we have the courage to reach out and touch. ”

He told us that we should fight for our ideals, even if they were destroyed! He told us that failure is not terrible, but what is terrible is silence and confusion! I used to think that he had come to us for help. But now it seems, why don't we turn to him for help?

"Agreed——!" Countless dragons shouted, answering in the air.

"What are we after?"

"Glory!" each dragon excited.

"And if the war is unfavorable?"

"Hold on to ——!," countless dragons let out an earth-shattering roar.

"If you need to sacrifice?"

"I will have no regrets——!

The sound waves spread like ocean waves, and the whole world shook with them.

Lowering his head, the Golden Dragon Grand Elder looked at Gray, who was riding a horse and standing by the waterhole, and said softly, "Young Lich King, have you heard the response of the Golden Dragon Clan? We're going to step out of the Dragon's Valley and shoulder the responsibilities we should have shouldered as a member of the Celtic continent. ”

"I hear you. Gray crossed his hands in front of his chest, bowed deeply to the Great Elder, then turned his horse's head, looked around, and said in a loud voice, "Today will be a special day, a day that will be remembered forever. The alliance between the Golden Dragon Clan and the White Bone Holy Light Holy See, the history of the Celtic Continent will open a new page. Your names will go down in history. Even tens of thousands of years later, this history will still be sung by countless bards. Here, on behalf of the creatures on the Celtic continent, I would like to thank the Golden Dragon Clan!"

Countless dragons raised their heads and let out a long roar in response.

Drawing the long sword at his waist, Gray raised it high and shouted: "In the name of Holy Light and Justice, the White Bone Holy Light Holy See and the Golden Dragon Clan have formed an alliance! We will pursue glory and justice together, as long as there is still slavery, injustice, and evil on the Celtic continent, our journey will never end! History will be rewritten because of us, and a new era will come because of us!"

Each dragon was flapping its wings frantically and roaring wildly.

The breeze blows, and the green trees sway.

Under the bright sun, Gray's figure was so dazzling.

Richie looked at his father quietly and smiled.

Everything looks so good.

......

At this moment, thousands of kilometers away from here, above the sea of clouds, there is a dragon's top like a white island.

It was a series of peaks like fangs reaching out to the sky, and on each peak, there were dragons. Together, they craned their necks toward the tallest mountain with a black, altar-like structure.

"The alliance between the undead and the golden dragon sounds like a joke. This would be destined to be a fragile alliance. No matter how high-sounding words are, they will not be able to escape the fate of collapse after all. ”

"They were instigated by the Lich King, the little Lich with an unexpected incitement. The existence of the Lich King is the core of the Alliance. In fact, the same is true of the White Bone Holy Light Holy See, and even more so of their alliance with the human race. In the end, there is only one node in everything, and that is the Lich King Gray Grugru. ”

"In that case, let him disappear from this world completely. While he was not yet an adult, he did not have a soul box. ”

"We do this...... Do you need to think about the reactions of heaven and hell?"

"They want us to do it. ”

"Do as you command, my elder!"

A dragon flapped its wings and soared into the air, followed by a second, a third, countless dragons. Some of them were black, some were red, some were dark blue, and some were yellow...... Overwhelming, all in the same direction.

Passing through the clouds, in an instant, the dragons were all gone, each of them taking on human form. Black robes wrapped around their bodies.

Immediately after, even the figures of the "people" disappeared, and the sky was empty, as if nothing had appeared.

......

The sun shines brightly on the "temporary residence".

In the courtyard, a long table covered with white cloth is arranged. In the presence of the members of the mission and the Golden Dragons, Gray signed a formal covenant with the Grand Elder of the Golden Dragons. It was a long, tens of thousands of words scroll, filled with all sorts of detailed rules.

After completing all the rituals, both sides crossed their hands in front of their chests and solemnly bowed.

"Are you going back so soon?" said the Golden Dragon Grand Elder softly, "We would have liked you to stay here for a while longer. As you can see, our people, especially the young people, are very fond of you. Perhaps you could spend a little more time talking to them about justice, fairness, and the Light. ”

"We still have a lot of work to do, Your Excellency the Elder. Gray replied solemnly, "The signing of the covenant is only the beginning. Justice needs to be practiced, not just lip service. There are too many people waiting for us to save, and every minute and second should not be wasted. ”

"Well, okay. If you insist, then we respect your decision. At the same time, I look forward to this covenant bringing a new look to the Golden Dragons. As he spoke, the Great Elder spread his hands.

Gray also opened his hands, and the two sides hugged each other tightly in the presence of the members of the mission and the Golden Dragon Clan.

"We will await your summons in the Valley of the Dragon!"

......

Snow-covered mountains and rivers with a gale of ice crystals.

Less than two meters above the snow, black, magical flowers exploded. One by one, the figures jumped out of it, skimmed the ground, and continued to fly forward at a great speed. Quietly, the movement, not even as loud as the wind. It's so inconspicuous in the midst of this blizzard.

......

After a simple ceremony, the delegation arrived at the mouth of the tunnel leading to the outside world.

"Oh my God, are we going to hike back again? It's too cold outside. The mallet began to tremble as he looked at the dark mouth of the tunnel.

"That's not what you said when you came. Vivien said from the side.

Now that we've signed our covenants, I suggest opening a door to the space so that I can lie down in my warm bed tonight. ”

"That's not going to work, how did we get here, how do we have to go back. It's etiquette. Vivien replied with a blank face.

After saying goodbye, Gray mounted Tenedas and turned his horse's head. Under the gaze of the Great Elder and the other Golden Dragon Clansmen, he walked towards the pitch-black tunnel.

For some time, Archiel Norman, who had been in charge of their care, was at the forefront as the guide to see them off.

The team made their way through the dark passages.

"Hahahaha, a big victory! a big victory!" hiding in Gray's armor, the black cat hugged the covenant and cheered, "I really didn't expect that we actually achieved the best result." Until the first meeting between you and the Great Elder, I still thought that we had won if we could neutralize them, but I didn't expect to really make them our allies!"

"As long as we persevere, the final victory must be ours. Gray replied softly.

"You're a great orator, Gray. It's true. I never thought it could be reversed this way. Of course, they themselves must have been restless for a long time. It's like a lich, a long, boring life that always makes people panic. ”

"I'd rather believe that they really have a yearning for justice. ”

"Father. Riding up to Gray's side, Richie asked softly, "When we get back, will we declare war on the Black Dragon immediately?"

"We have declared war. ”

"I mean, do you just do it?"

Looking ahead, Gray was silent for a moment before replying, "They must already know the Golden Dragons' decision. Even if you don't know, you'll know soon. I wanted to try and persuade them one last time. When victory is hopeless, perhaps they will consider change. ”

"Maybe we should just launch a sneak attack. "Although we already have the support of the Golden Dragon, and we have much more powerful force than them, it does not mean that this war does not require any sacrifices. Using a sneak attack can minimize sacrifice. ”

"To persuade success, sacrifice is undoubtedly the lowest. The Black Dragons are only our temporary enemies, and we still have a long way to go, and we will face even more powerful opponents. And they, most likely, will become our new allies. We don't stop there. Moreover, the people, and our allies, must be more willing to see us triumph in a dignified manner. A sneak attack may lead to victory, but it will surely sow permanent disaster. ”

"An eternal scourge?"

"Will you be willing to submit to an opponent who has defeated you by despicable means?" Vivien's voice suddenly rang out, "Our goal is not to destroy the Black Dragons. ”

"Okay. Richie spread his hands helplessly and said nothing more.

......

Pairs of feet on the snow.

The uninvited black-robed people gave up flying and fell from the sky, braving the wind and snow, and began to take a walking posture.

Figures quietly walked forward in the snow, looking down from the sky, like black dots moving in the white expanse.

Why do you suddenly say that you are looking down from the sky?

For Alex Rahan flew above them in the form of a golden dragon. The huge eyes quietly glanced down, then looked ahead again, as if they hadn't seen anything.

"Is everything normal?" the Lich King was out of the tunnel. The Grand Elder has ordered us to take care of the Lich King's safety on his way back, and that there will be no surprises. You have to check it carefully. Understood?" a voice sounded in his head.

"Everything works fine. ”

"Everything works fine. ”

"Everything works fine. ”

"Everything works fine. Alex Rahan replied.

Glancing meaningfully at the other golden dragon flying next to him, Alex Rahan quietly changed his posture and flew in the other direction.

In the snow, the black dots were still quietly moving in the direction of the Dragon Valley.

......

Achill Norman stretched out a hand and pressed it against the rune-strewn stone.

Soon, the stone radiated a soft, golden glow. And in front of them, a gap similar to a spatial door slowly opened in the tunnel, which was originally pitch black and seemed to have no end in sight. The sunlight outside the Valley of the Dragon quickly penetrated along with the wind and snow, and instantly swept through every corner of the tunnel.

Bowing slightly, Archiel Norman made a gesture of please.

Gray rode his horse and led the members of the mission out of the tunnel, braving the wind and snow.
